Of course, people go wild over sweet potato casserole. Top anything withsugar and marshmallows, and it's probably gonna be great.

Standard-sized pies can disappear quickly, and let's not even mention the fights over who got shortchanged with a dinky half-slice. Keep things civil, and makethis outrageously tasty slab pie. It's large and in charge, and it's convenient to divvy up, so you won't hear any cries of "She got the tip from my slice of pie -- make her give it back!"
